Lending a Hand:Airmen, sailors, and soldiers are working together at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, to keep earthquake relief assistance flowing in to northern Pakistan. Maintainers for both the Air Force’s EC-130 and the Navy’s E-6B have been working with the 82nd Airborne Division to build containerized delivery systems for air drops. The air-water-ground team has assembled 150 containers since the earthquake relief operations started earlier this month, providing an estimated 80,000 pounds of aid in both land and air drops.
